Absolutely brilliant weekend up here in Glasgow; great curry, great calzone, and great Guinness. Caught the second half of City today but it is what it is.
To run so many Cycle events at the same time is a monumental achievement for the city. The Danish, Belgian fans giving it large on Montrose St created a brilliant atmosphere, though I love cheesy Euro-techno so I was an easy win.
MvdP, what an amazing rider, esp after his accident.

That top 3 says it all; they really are the best 3 riders in the world. I do think that Danish Lance-O-Like who won the race in France the other week can do one; Pogacar puts himself on the line repeatedly and is clearly the better genuine rider.

The maps for each stage of The of Britain are in this link. Stage One Altrincham to Manchester should be good. It passes through my manor, Hazel Grove, High Lane and Marple. I'll watch the finish in Manchester though.

Does it go past Jacko’s Jailhouse as it was “affectionately” known?! I was told there was a sprint section near there.

I’m tempted more by a ride over to Marple myself if it’s a dry day, though I’m disappointed to see they always seem to go down the big slope past the station into Marple Bridge, when it would actually be even better to see them struggle up it!
Cheers for posting anyway :-)

The sh*t could really hit the fan now.
As in, a team doctor named and found guilty, yet apparently no riders? Who was it actually for?

I may be wrong but read he was involved working with Allardyce at Bolton before he moved to British Cycling.

The rider at the bottom needs a bigger bike

La Vuelta a Espana isn't on ITV 4 this year. Never mind I'll just have to watch lovely Orla on Eurosport.

This course is lethal with the rain, there’s going to be some huge gaps

This weather is horrendous
